Every year we try to visit our favorite pumpkin patch/apple orchards but we have been slacking this year! Even though it was a cold fall day, we still packed up the kids and brought them. We leave for vacation in just a few days, so I wanted to make sure we got it in before we left. Our favorite place to visit is Schwalliers Country Basket.

I always get so excited when my friend Courtney over at Sprispals asks me if I want to participate in her photo-shoots! It’s fun to help support my friend and her business but I also get some really cute pictures of my kids! Some of my most FAVORITE pictures of my kids came from these shoots. This time around the girls were at their dads house so they weren’t able to join in the fun.

It’s one of my favorite weeks of the year… homecoming week! In our school district, that means the entire week is “spirit week”. It’s fun to dress the kids up each day and see them have fun with it too. The girls have always been in the homecoming parade too, so we really enjoy watching it.

I’m a part of a million mom groups on social media and I’ve noticed a trend on what is talked about within the group. It’s usually other moms giving their medical diagnoses, complaining about husbands who don’t understand and what our little ones are eating. Once you have your own child, you think you’re an expert on parenting, don’t deny it… we all think our way is the right way. Well, not all children are the same. Maybe your 12 month old is a pro at eating solids but someone else’s 12 month old might not be even close to being ready to start solids. This is when its best to seek out expert opinions, rather than trying to see what Betty from the mom group is doing with her child.

Hi! I’m Nicole, a wife to my sweet husband and a mommy to TWO sets of twins! Our hearts are full with two spunky blue eyed girls and the cutest baby boy girl duo. I love being a mamarazzi and capturing our every day moments. I am so glad you're here. Enjoy and stay awhile!
